Vehicle Tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.

Vehicle Tips

The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)

Vehicle Tips

Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.

Vehicle Tips

Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.

Vehicle Tips

Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.

Vehicle Tips

A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.

Vehicle Tips

Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.

Vehicle Tips

Vehicle Tips

Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.

Vehicle Tips

Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.

Vehicle Tips

Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.

Vehicle Tips

Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.

Reviews and comments from our satisfied customers

I have been a loyal customer at Swanson's Auto Service for over 20 years. The employees are friendly and I am always greeted by name and with a smile. Repairs are done in a timely manner. They work around my schedule and always squeeze me in when I need something done right away. They recommend needed work in advance with no pressure to get repairs done right away. I feel safe knowing that they keep my car, and my kids' cars - especially my kids' cars - running safely. Even though I have moved from Grandville, I will still return to Swanson's for all my auto maintenance. Thank you Randy , Jodi and all who make my experience there great!

My dad and I looked around West Michigan for years for a repair shop that would service his Nissan 350Z well without huge costs. Swanson's was the ONLY one. They do quality work and will work WITH you whatever your personal situation. Just today, I purchased a new car and noticed a burning-plastic smell coming from the engine. In a panic, I called the head mechanic - Steve - and explained. We set a time the very next day for me to drop by. Not only did he check it out, he drove it into the back and looked the whole car over for me just to ease my mind. You are not just another number to these folks :)

-Ashlee B.

My sons car broke down while at College and had it towed to Swanson's for an estimate and repair. They were upfront, honest and great to work with, making sure I understood all of my options. Would definitely recommend them to people in the area!

My family has been taking our three autos to Swanson's since 2008 and we have been very happy with the service we received. We always feel good about the service recommendations they make and are never concerned that we might be getting taken advantage of.

I have been taking my family cars to Swansons for years. Their facility is always very clean and even smells nice. The staff is friendly and courteous and go out of their way to help me and my kids deal with repairs needed on our vehicles. I trust their advice and refer my friends to them.

-Tracey Q.

I am from southwest Michigan and was in the GR area for business when my car broke down. Since I didn't really know any auto repair shops in the area, the tow truck driver recommended Swanson's to me. Fortunately, they were able get my car in that day and fix it. Not only was I able to drive my car home that night, they let me use a "loaner" car so that I could make my service calls in the area without having to rent a car. A great big THANK YOU to everyone at Swanson's for saving my day!

-Timothy H.

If any family can challenge a mechanic, it's ours. We own a foreign car, a domestic truck, and a domestic car. Even in the face of some serious mechanical nightmares, Swanson's has never failed to come through when we need them most on any of our vehicles. Swanson's service is always prompt, thorough, and top-rate. In our book, Swanson's Auto Service is number one!

-Larry B.

I have been a customer at Swanson's for well over ten years. During that time I have had minor and major services performed on our vehicles. If I ever had questions about recommended service and options, I was given clear and accurate advice. I have never had a negative experience or outcome. These years have brought about a very trusting relationship, I can always depend on fast, complete, honest and dependable service. Their service fees have always been fair, I never consider shopping for a better price. Randy has more than once gone out of his way to assist me, they have never let me down. I recommend them to friends without hesitation. A visit to Swanson's is like stopping by to see old friends.

-Dr. John C.

Swanson's Auto Service has serviced all my cars since I moved to Grandville, 16 years ago. I know I can trust them to do what is necessary to keep the cars safe at a reasonable price. They are always honest about what needs to be done. They do little extras, like checking the tires whenever I ask. Larry and his tow truck have come to my rescue several times. I appreciate the personal service.

-Sandy D.

My wife & I have been bringing our vehicles to Swanson's for almost 10 years now. I bring my business vehicles as well as my personal vehicles to them and have had excellent auto service as well as excellent customer service.

-Jamie G.

We purchased a used Jeep that had some problems which Swanson's Auto Service repaired quickly and correctly. There was one problem that was somewhat difficult, but Swanson's figured it out and fixed it for a very reasonable price. Now our Jeep runs great! We have four cars and take them all to Swanson's. We trust them to fix our cars correctly and at a fair price. They always give us prompt, courteous and professional service. It is wonderful to be able to take our cars to a place we trust completely!

-Denise K.

My dad used Swanson's, and I continued the tradition. I have been using them for over 20 years, and I can honestly say they have always been fantastic. I have never been disappointed. In fact if I had an issue, and needed to drop my vehicle off after hours without an appointment, Swanson's has always been able to at least look at it the next day, and most of the time have it even fixed the same day.
